ADOT Has Good News For The Weekend

The Arizona Department of Transportation says there is no Valley freeway construction closures scheduled through the weekend. Although some project work has been taking place this week along freeway shoulders or within established work zones, no closures are scheduled until next week.

Traffic information for Super Bowl events & the FBR Open is available on ADOT’s 5-1-1 travel line under the “special events” section.


The Arizona Dept. of Transportation is coordinating freeway improvements throughout the Valley. These projects - which include new freeways, additional lanes & interchanges, rubberized asphalt, new landscaping and more - are included in the 20-year Regional Transportation Plan for Maricopa County. More than $15 billion in comprehensive, diverse transportation improvements are funded in the plan through a voter-approved sales tax that became effective in January 2006. More information on ADOT’s freeway portion of the Regional Transportation Plan is available at
